Will Yankees re-sign Damon?

It might be. Damon has been pretty up front about his desire to keep playing for the Yankees past 2009, and he has said that he can’t imagine wearing a different uniform, which isn’t exactly a page right out of the Scott Boras playbook as it relates to an upcoming free agency.

But Damon seems legitimate and unapologetic about what he wants, and why not? He has absolutely loved hitting in new Yankee Stadium, owning the kind of swing that seems tailor-made for the place — shades of how Bobby Murcer enjoyed so much success at the old building a few decades ago.

Damon might not be the same productive player if he had to log 81 games worth of at-bats in a different stadium, but in the Bronx, he still seems to be a good fit. There was a thought earlier in the year that the Yankees would be primed to let Damon walk as a free agent, but now it appears the winds have shifted and they are more amenable to the idea of keeping him.
